The domestic sink can take on many different forms, from a traditional
round bowl basin to a sharp-edged shallow twin user trough. Basins come
in all manners of finishes, colors and sizes, but we wanted to delve
deeper into the world of super sinks to see if we could uncover
something really extraordinary. We found not one, but 15 weird and
wonderful solutions, including ecologically friendly ideas, integrated
systems and cunningly concealed designs.

Our first interesting find under a faucet is this
elegant bathroom basin that has an etched glass base. When raised up on
it’s waste collar, the base casts a beautiful light pattern over the
surface of the vanity unit below.

This organic form is the solid resin ‘spoon sink’-the sister product the
award winning spoon urinal-which mimics the shape of a single teardrop.

Irregularly stacked pebble shapes make up the limited edition ‘Water
Stone Faucet’. The zen-garden worthy tap is teamed with a gently scooped
sink, and comes in a contemporary chrome finish or a delicate china white.

Resembling the shape of the Calla lilly, the ‘Kalla’ sink is a freestanding form made from Cristalplant.

Designer: Cristal Plant
Another sink formed from Cristalplant (which is the
first eco-sustainable solid surface made from materials of plant origin
combined with natural inert minerals of absolute purity) is this chunky
block cut through with a slimline grate drain.

This sharp corned cuboid outline appears to hang
precariously in mid-air, with waste water disappearing into the subtle
mount.

‘Wing’ is a wall sink that looks as though a solid basin
has taken on fluidity and been stretched out in either direction, with
the horizontal plane forming a vanity shelf, and the vertical reach
offering a decorative light.

The ‘Eaux Eaux’, or ‘Water Water’ basins become crashing
waves as the water from the fully integrated faucet touches down into
the bowl.

Designer: Rapsel
A disappearing sanitary ware design has been made possible by topping
the washbasin, toilet bowl and shower tray with solid larch wood covers.
The WC volume also incorporates a small storage drawer to the side. 
This design is a little more practical, though if your
partner likes to wash at the sink whilst you bath then you might find
yourself getting splashed by cold water.
Basically the same concept of using the water drained from the sink for the flush, but realized in a more elegant form.
